Cohesion
Cohesion is concerned with the way in which the components of the SURFACE TEXT, i.e. the actual words we hear or see, are mutually connected within a sequence.

Lexical cohesion:
Reiteration adopts various forms, particularly synonymy, repetition, hyponymy or antonyms. Synonymy
Repetition• Using the same word over again, but not restricted to the same morphological form:E.g. using run(V), run(N), ran, running, runner,etc., all within the same text.Repetition• Example : The key to good, healthy studying is having breaks. Even short breaks can be very beneficial. A student ought to have a five minute break every hour. He can spend it watching TV, eating, drinking, relaxing or even taking a bath to stress out. Regular breaks are an important method for successful studying.Synonymy• Synonym is used to mean ‘sameness of meaning’.• Lexical cohesion results from the choice of a lexical item that is in some sense synonymous or nearly synonymous with a preceding one;E.g. sound with noise, cavalry with horses in: He was just wondering which road to take when he was started by a noise from behind him. It was the noise of trotting horses… He dismounted and led his horse as quickly as he could along the right-hand road. The sound of the cavalry grew rapidly nearer …Antonymy• A relational antonym is one of a pair of words with opposite meanings, where opposite makes sense only in the context of the relationship between the two meanings.hyponymy
